No, but incentivize work days that do not have to be 8 hour shifts.
@96D62NZConservative3yrs3Y
Yes but, only for certain jobs
@8YCSYPTConservative3yrs3Y
Yes, but not government workers.
@92N5JGD3yrs3Y
No, but they should encourage companies to do so.
@4DJR8YJ3yrs3Y
No, wait and see if there are proven benefits
@7V8WHYY3yrs3Y
It is up to the workers themselves to decide how many days a week they work.
@93XWXTY3yrs3Y
Possibly but more details would need to be worked out
@4TGBF233yrs3Y
Let companies make this decision for themselves.
@2VWTTCC3yrs3Y
Private businesses should have the ability to do this, but government jobs should not.

Let's see what happens in the other countries and then experiment with it if it is worth it. It is worth it if it increases GDP and/or significantly improves mental health and family ties.
